FFA Banquet, probably 1948

Who is that sitting by Miss Harkins? How come no one's smiling? Everybody looks so grim. The photographer must have forgotten to say, "Say cheese." And he kind of cut you off, the other picture is really a good one.

Found Edith. Some of those kids look like they're not dry behind the ears. Front row (almost cut off), Thayer Cox, Dad, Mother, Dwight, and Delbert Dahlke. Were Thayer and Delbert officers, too? Wow, talk about being a big-wig!

1948....I was only 8 years old, yet I remember Dad practicing over and over and over, his "parents response". He was more nervous than Dwight. Does anyone else remember him practicing in the living room?Since FFA was the focus of Dwight's education, it was the family focus as well. That seems rather appropriate.

Louise, Lloyd Meyer is sitting this side of Miss Harkins, Ernie Keller on the other side. Then, going on back, Miss Stoudt, unknown, Hershel Robirds. Dad's "parent's response" was a major worry for him, but he did a nice job. I was always a little nervous with big crowds, but not much.

Welcome to the Blood Family Blog

Welcome to our blog. We look forward to getting acquainted with and linking to other familes who want to know more about who we are. We have come a long way from our rural beginnings in the small country valley of Penrose in northwest Wyoming, but our roots and fond memories are still attached to where we began.

The Blood family blog is an information center for the extended family of Russell and Minnie Blood. The Blood family is a large and diverse family. We have school teachers, college professors, attorneys, financial planners, day care providers, pharmacists, engineers, coaches, realtors, quilters, crafters, scrapbookers, photographers, writers, wood workers, metal crafters, college students, young marrieds, old marrieds, Republicans, and a few Democrats. We live all over the country. We hope you enjoy our story.
